Hi, I wanted to know the difference between expired and deleted document. i am using \_ttl as 1000 while indexing the document. I want the document to be deleted instead of expired. How can I control that. Thanks, Arjit -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, I think indices.ttl.interval is used to delete the expire document. Can I set it to indices.ttl.interval = 0 ? So that as soon as document is expired its deleted. My use case is using those documents as distributed locks. So, I want locks to expire and gets deleted after a ttl .
